Financial Preparedness is Disaster Preparedness

Financial preparedness is an important part of disaster readiness. When disasters occur, an emergency savings fund can be one of the primary resources to handle natural disasters and jumpstart recovery. In this session, we will discuss specific actions that individuals and families can take to become financially prepared for any emergency or disaster situation. In addition, tools, strategies, and resources will be shared that can be used with service members and families. Personal finance managers (PFMs) and Extension educators will find this session most helpful as they work locally with military families.
